Welcome to an irreverent, not-at-all comprehensive blog about my couponing exploits in Montgomery County, Maryland, with some annoying cats sprinkled about. Try not to step on them; they get ever so cross. Also there may be some law stuff here and there, but not too much, because most law stuff is boring.

Took advantage of three new deals today that came to light Sunday while I was out shopping. The first: Two coupons were printing from the CVS Magic Coupon Machine Sunday (the first of which is printing every day): $10/$30 Gillette shaving purchase, and a $2/1 Venus cartridge. I combined these coupons with a few P&G coupons to get some Venus and Olay products tres cheap!

Second: Turns out the Buy 3 Hallmark cards Receive $3.00 Extra Bucks deal works with the $0.99 cards! Now, it's not supposed to, so this could be fixed at any time. But in the meantime, why not exploit the error and get yourself some free cards!?

Third: There's a $1.00/1 U Kotex Adperk coupon this month that has no size restrictions listed. If you combine this with a $1.00/1 (or combine 2 with a $2.00/2) manufacturer coupon, you get some moneymaker pantiliners! This is even better if you're eligible for a Gold or Silver discount!

Also I picked up some cheap pistachios as a filler to absorb the overage from the pantiliners (Remember: Rite Aid can't give you money back, so you have to buy something else to absorb the difference), and I picked up some relatively cheap bottled water. Not exactly my stockup price (which is $2.50, in case you were wondering), but we were low and it was good enough.

Okay, so apparently this coupon isn't actually a manufacturer coupon but can only be used in Hallmark stores. Also, I had a B3G1 Free CVS coupon that printed from the Magic Coupon Machine awhile back that would have not only given me another free card but would have taken off a whopping $2.50 from my total. Except I completely forgot about it. Le sigh. Let's just call this a learning experience and move on, shall we?

*A quick note: The Adperk coupon has no size restrictions on it; however, it did beep and had to be entered manually. I would not be surprised if Rite Aid/Kotex eventually adds a size restriction to it for future prints. So if I were you, I'd print the coupon NOW.*
